Costa Brava-Pyrenees villas : Capsec de la Vila Feedback on Capsec de la Vila----- Original Message ----- From: paul.michaelides To: villasbarcelona Cc: justin.hindle Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 3:56 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Capsec - how was it? Everyone had a great time at the Villa in Spain. We found it very conveniently located to explore the area - including trips to the beach, Pyrnees and Barcelona. The house itself was up to expectations and very comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the dogs, the young one being especially friendly.

Seeing them back, brings nothing but excellent memories. Hans was kind enough to send me the top four photos of the pool for use in the website - thank you! Feel free to use them (if Ana doesn't mind) to convince the next batch of suspicious internet swimmers... . They won't be disappointed ! All the best, Hans Deseure ----- Original Message ----- From: Sadler & Whitehead To: Charlie Williams Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 2:37 AM Subject: Capsec vacation, 21/6 to 5/7 Hola, Charlie Cap Sec was perfect for us. We enjoyed our surroundings immensely. La Vila was very beautiful indeed and the pool was more fantastic than we'd ever imagined. We had a divine meal for 11 at San Salvator; our best night out, by far. And we'd also recommend you try the apparently re-styled restaurant Les Cols in Olot. Ambitious and fascinating food. A mezmerizing ambience. Hope you are well and that your clients are as satisfied as we. Thanks again for your excellent recommendations.

I hope you'll forgive us our somewhat suspecting initial attitude - Internet still doesn't inspire much confidence. Our pictures have turned out excellent, so as long as Ana's japanese photographer doesn't come up with the goods, I'm always willing to send a couple of ours for reference ;-) On the driving instructions ; the exit number to take past the border is indeed #3. Closer to Olot, there's a motorway in full construction. You first need to get past the 'Olot est' exit, then take the next one. This drops you off at the round point where you take the direction Camprodon. The rest is still valid, including the annoying traffic lights ... . The binder with regional information was a great plus - two weeks are just enough to start scratching it... . The hilight for us was the driving instructions to get us smoothly into central Barcelona. We've done a lot worse last weekend finding a country village in Belgium. I doubt we can give you any new restaurant info, which I suspect from the binder to be your key interest point, but we had a brilliant meal & fantastic service in Barcelona, 'La Vinateria del Cal' www.lavinateria.com Do try the Rioja Placet white, I'm looking for an importer here. It was a pleasure ! Hans, family & friends. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Weir To: 'Charles Williams' Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 8:22 AM Subject: RE: rental cars 26 june - 3 july 2004 Hi Charlie Our trip was fantastic and Capsec was beyond description. We feel very fortunate to have stayed there. Thanks for all the help. Robert & family P.S. The instructions on how to get to Capsec from Barcelona need to be updated as many of the road names have changed. ----- Original Message ----- From: ruth santos To: tourism@catalonia.net Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 10:52 AM Subject: Re: capsec Here is a bit you could use about Capsec: Capsec is in a beautiful setting. We had planned a lot of day trips but ended upbeing content to just hang out at the house. We were two families with four children aged 4 and under and the the house was perfect for all our needs (apart from maybe the washing machine....)The animals were a great source of entertainment; the horses, dogs and Ana encouraged us to collect our own eggs for breakfast. The pool is like a "beach" and meant the children could splash at the edge. Two of them learnt to swim while we were there! We barbecued most evenings and ate out at lunchtimes since we're big fans of the menu del dia. Olot had everything we needed - we pretty much stocked up for the week at the Monday market. It is a pretty town to wander round and very friendly. Nearby the house, (turning left at the end of the driveway) is a river pool that we swam in - freezing but fun. The local restaurnants were great but writing from a parent's point of view I'd have to say the simpler ones were more welcoming and prepared to cater for the children. All in all we had a great stay, loved the owners of Capsec and were really impressed with your efficient and personal service - we are recommending it to everyone! Ruth Santos. ps Please feel free to edit as you see fit and thanks again - we'll be back for sure! ![]() This sign indicates that the Catalan Tourism Authorities regularly inspect and license the property.
